Yes, I agree. So, should I delete any of my added variants?

 Eldad Eldad October 8, 2011 October 8, 2011 at 12:42:16 AM UTC link Permalink

If I'm going to omit the "one" here, and use a passive construction, then such a sentence already exists - and I'll have to delete this one.

Ok, I'll delete it.

Just a small nitpick - but it sounds a bit better to me to say "with yes or no" (or, more commonly, "Ask only yes or no questions.")

Eldad Eldad October 8, 2011 October 8, 2011 at 8:56:36 AM UTC link Permalink

Ok, so - am I change it to "with", or is "by yes or no" also acceptable? To me both sound OK.

Zifre Zifre October 9, 2011 October 9, 2011 at 12:53:01 AM UTC link Permalink

I don't know. I've never heard "by yes or no", but maybe it's British English or some other regional variation.

Eldad Eldad October 9, 2011 October 9, 2011 at 1:04:54 AM UTC link Permalink

I'm changing to "with".
